Each bedroom has it's own individual keypad / lock.Padsplit has data on occupancy per zipcode through their host portal.

For stable markets, consider places in the Midwest or Southeast where properties are more affordable and rental demand is strong.

I have a duplex that I originally intended to have serviced by individual heatings systems, but ended up installing a single system that's large enough to heat the whole building.

That's a spreadsheet that doesn't transfer to a real life leasing scenario because its not permitted within the zoning code.If the property is zoned RM1, then  perhaps you can lease to 8 unrelated individuals by converting the building into multiple units.

Land doesn’t depreciate, and while buildings require maintenance, they usually gain value as markets grow, demand increases, and inflation takes its toll.Real estate investors benefit from a significant tax write-off based on the concept that properties lose value over time, even as their market value skyrockets.
